I feel for you. I remember several years ago when my maternal grandfather had been in the hospital when I was 6 years old. At age 69, he eventually couldn't go on, and it was the first time I ever had to acknowledge death is a part of life.

My own dad is in very good shape at age 71, but I still worry about the possibility of the unexpected.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your dad, Bobby.

This episode was...uh, meh, up until the Prize Puzzle, I guess.

I didn't know they had a duplicate of that sculpture in Philadelphia. And Mario...remember your Round 4 puzzle Jonathan solved with just the P's? Showed up here, too, only with the word AND instead of an ampersand.

I think I nailed the Bonus Puzzle with RSTLNE. Rebecca sure seemed surprised she solved it with her picks!
